Splendido Mare.

The Portofino harbour hotel, after its 2023 refit, with a terrace that remains the best seat in Liguria.

Overview

Splendido Mare is the Portofino sibling of the Splendido up the hill. After the 2023 refit, it feels fresh without losing the harbourside intimacy that has always been its appeal.

Rooms

Book a harbour-facing room. The marina-facing ones are smaller but beautifully done.

Dining

DaV Mare, Hostess Martin Benoit's kitchen, is the highlight.

Amenities

Use the pool at Splendido up the hill — a shuttle runs every thirty minutes.

How to book

Direct or via Doorkey.
